本研究探讨了心理测量学属性的分数，从一个直接测量的行为调节，头-趾-膝-肩任务（HTKS）与3- 6岁的儿童在美国，台湾，韩国和中国。具体而言，我们调查（a）HTKS分数的性质和变化，包括教师评定的课堂行为调节的关系;和（B）HTKS和早期数学，词汇和识字技能之间的关系。在美国和韩国，较高的HTKS分数与较高的教师课堂行为调节评分显着相关，但在台湾和中国大陆则不然。此外，更高的HTKS分数显着相关的早期数学，词汇和识字技能超出人口统计变量和教师评定的课堂行为监管的影响。这些初步的研究结果表明，HTKS分数可以解释为反映早期的行为监管在这4个社会和行为监管是很重要的早期学术成功在美国和亚洲国家。
The present study examined the psychometric properties of scores from a direct measure of behavioral regulation, the Head–Toes–Knees–Shoulders task (HTKS) with 3-to 6-year-old children in the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, and China. Specifically, we investigated (a) the nature and variability of HTKS scores, including relations to teacher-rated classroom behavioral regulation; and (b) relations between the HTKS and early mathematics, vocabulary, and literacy skills. Higher HTKS scores were significantly related to higher teacher ratings of classroom behavioral regulation in the United States and South Korea but not in Taiwan and China. Also, higher HTKS scores were significantly related to higher early mathematics, vocabulary, and literacy skills beyond the influence of demographic variables and teacher-rated classroom behavioral regulation. These initial findings suggest that HTKS scores may be interpreted as reflecting early behavioral regulation in these 4 societies and that behavioral regulation is important for early academic success in the United States and in Asian countries.
